Publisher Description:

Marta is una ni a, an ordinary girl . . . with some extraordinary animal friends

As Marta explores the jungle, she knows she's bigger than a bug, smaller than an elephant, and faster than a turtle. But then she meets the snake, who thinks Marta is sabrosa--tasty, very tasty But Marta is ingeniosa, a very clever girl, and she outsmarts the snake with hilarious results.

With simple Spanish and a glossary at the end, this fun read-aloud picture book, Marta Big and Small, teaches little ones to identify opposites and animals and learn new words.
